In the evening, Zhulan waited for Zhou Shuren to come back and asked, "What is the worst outcome of Jiang Ming's matter?"
Zhou Shuren was not sure of success. "If no one gets involved, I think the best outcome is that he will be exiled from the capital. The worst outcome is that he will lose his official position. I am afraid that someone will get involved and take his life."
Zhu Lan took the clothes Zhou Shuren wanted to change and said with emotion: "It's better for only Jiang Ming to get into trouble than for the entire Jiang Mansion to get into trouble. Dong Yiyi still has the Dong family to return to, and Jiang Muchen won't lose his life."
Zhou Shuren changed his clothes and said, "The Jiang family's property will be confiscated, but Dong Yiyi's dowry belongs to Dong Yiyi, so Dong Yiyi should be allowed to take it away."
Zhulan paused holding the handkerchief. "Although I haven't heard Mrs. Dong talk about Dong Yiyi's situation, I have also observed that Dong Yiyi's dowry should not be much left."
Zhou Shuren washed his face and said, "That's Dong Yiyi's own business. I have done my best for the Jiang family."
Zhu Lan put down her handkerchief and said, "I hope Jiang Ming's ambitions will be cleared up in prison."
Zhou Shuren snorted, "If you don't wake up, there's no hope."
Zhu Lan pulled Zhou Shuren and said, "Let's not talk about him anymore. Let's go eat."
In the capital, at the Jiang Mansion, Dong Yiyi watched the sky darken and the city gates closed, her eyes dim. The housekeeper hadn't returned, and no one from the Zhou family had come either. Are they not planning to save the master
Jiang Muchen pursed his lips, "Mom, why didn't anyone from the Zhou family come? Aren't we relatives?"
Dong Yiyi looked at her young children and said, "Your father has calculated too much against the Zhou family. He has gone too far and has already hurt the relationship between the two families."
Jiang Muchen opened his mouth. He didn't know what his father had done, but he knew that the family was well-off now and his father was not as gloomy as before. His father had changed, but his mother had become even more gloomy. Did his mother know that something bad would happen
He knew his mother wouldn't lie to him, but he just didn't want to accept it. "Mom, nothing can happen to Dad."
What should he do if his father gets into trouble? What should his sister do? What should his mother do
Dong Yiyi was panicking. She was just a girl from a small town. She had never encountered such a situation. The servants were not from wealthy families either. They had already panicked. She was only accompanied by the maid who came with her as a dowry. "Mother doesn't know either."
She really didn't know, she didn't understand these things, and she didn't plan to miss the master anymore. All she could think about now was the future of her children. She just hoped that her children would not be implicated. In the future, with her younger sister around, she could still have some connection with the Zhou Mansion and could protect the three of them.
Inside the cell, Jiang Ming's eyes were no longer dull. In the dim cell, Jiang Ming finally came to his senses. He was just an insignificant official in the capital. It was too easy to kill him. Look, his happiness didn't last long.
Jiang Ming was no longer willing to guess who was behind this. After he came to his senses, he realized how much he had gone too far. How could he have been so bold as to keep the prince hanging
Jiang Ming thought of Zhou Shuren. He probably wouldn't save him. Zhou Shuren hated being plotted against and didn't like trouble. The Jiang family had long been in decline, so no one would save him. He might have already run away after hearing the news.
The next morning, Zhou Shuren arrived at the government office. Lord Wang came up to him and said, "Lord Zhou, I've heard everything. Just let me know if you need help."
For a person of the fourth rank who doesn't have much power, it is still possible to rescue him.
Zhou Shuren didn't plan to rescue him. He only wanted the Jiang family to leave the capital. However, "I would like to thank you for your kindness. Jiang Ming's fate today was caused by himself."
Lord Wang tasted it and said "oh", he felt that it was Lord Zhou's work, now he was sure, "Then I will get busy first."
"Um."
Wang Ju left the house and thought to herself, Lord Zhou really is a person who hates trouble. After all, Lord Zhou did save Jiang Ming!
At the Zhou residence, Dong Chuchu was holding the child, "Mom, my elder sister must be panicking. Should I send a maid to help?"
Zhulan took Yuyi and teased the child without looking up. "What I mean is that you should send someone to help after it's over, instead of going there now."
If I go there now, I can't help at all and I might even be blamed. But it will be different when it's over. The Jiang family will definitely want to divide up the remaining money, and this is when Dong Yiyi needs support the most.
Dong Chuchu has known for many years that her mother-in-law’s vision and ability are not what they see. Sometimes, when she sees her mother-in-law, it’s like seeing her father-in-law. She is right in what her mother-in-law says. “Mom, I know.”
Zhulan then looked up and saw that Dong Chuchu's face was not very good. This was because she didn't get a good night's rest. "It's just right that you are here. The nanny is here today. You can also take a look."
Dong Chuchu no longer thought about her sister, her mind was on the nanny, "Mom, you've taken a lot of trouble."
Zhulan was indeed very attentive. She had already found three wet nurses. She first investigated the wet nurses' families, including whether the children were sick, whether the wet nurses had any hidden illnesses, etc. She found all these things very clearly.
He also found the best doctor in the city to treat the three people and take their pulses. It took several days of treatment before he brought them back.
In order to prevent the child from getting close to the wet nurses, Zhulan chose two of the three wet nurses and took turns with them, not allowing the child to get close to any of them.
After waiting for a while, Mrs. Song brought the wet nurses in. They were all wearing new clothes. Yes, the three wet nurses had taken a medicinal bath for several days. Zhulan was worried that they might have skin problems, so she was really worried about them.
Two of the three men came out, both of them were in their twenties, strong and healthy. Well, their bones were relatively large, and it was obvious that they were quite strong.
Dong Chuchu was also very satisfied. As long as the nurse was healthy, she waited for Mrs. Song to take the nurse away. "Mother, you worry about us."
After Zhulan had her own baby, she completely integrated into the role of a mother. "I am a mother after all. This is what I should do. Yuyi, you two can rest assured that I am here. You don't have to worry too much. When you come back, I will definitely give you a fat girl."
Dong Chuchu looked at her daughter and her heart softened. If she didn't know that it would be difficult for her to return to her parents' home in the future, she would not have left her child behind and followed her back.
In the capital, the second prince found that it was Jiang Ming's case with a playful look in his eyes. Jiang Ming was keeping him hanging. He and the third prince were annoyed but not angry, because they had the same idea. This person was kept for Lord Zhou. He and the third prince knew in their hearts that Lord Zhou would definitely come to the capital.
There is no major conflict at this stage, but who knows what will happen in the future. If Jiang Ming can use it well, he can also cause trouble for Lord Zhou.
The second prince was turning the beads in his hand. It was the people from Yao Hou's mansion who did it. Should we say that Jiang Ming was too ambitious, or should we say that Yao Hou hid it well enough
The second prince smiled. It was a good deal for him. He happened to have not caught any information in the Ministry of Justice, so he could report this man from Lord Yao!
Inside the palace, the emperor knew Zhou Shuren very well, and Zhou Shuren's actions did not avoid him. He was very efficient. It didn't take long for Jiang Ming to get in.
The emperor liked Zhou Shuren's direct action of eliminating trouble, and said to the prince: "This case is closed. Jiang Ming's property will be confiscated, and he will be removed from his official position and exiled from the capital."
